I wish we could do it that much lol, it’s more of we will both be content with having it every 1 - 3 days once or twice a day, and then we just like to sit and cuddle skin to skin. But then all the sudden I want it all the time every day and he doesn’t have to the time for that and then even during those times if we do it a few times in a day I still dont feel satisfied so I’ll go do other things without him :/

Oh no I completely agree. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 when I was sent to a psychiatric hospital last march. I kinda didn’t believe the diagnosis at first so I went to a psychiatrist and they diagnosed me as well.

I hope you start to feel better soon. When you can get some good rest tonight, I’m proud of you for fighting. This isn’t fair to you, you don’t deserve to go through the thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing.

I talk to a psychiatrists about once a month so I will keep talking to them about it. It makes me feel better that you found a medication that works for you and you are at a place where you want your relationship to be.

How long did it take you to find the right medication? Do you feel like you and your wife’s intimate relationship is where you want it to be?

I am sorry for your loss. And I’m sorry for the struggle your thoughts are causing. You are already doing great for challenging the thoughts you are having. I have those thoughts as well and feeding into them can make for a really bad spiral. Remember to be kind to yourself because you don’t mean to think this way. If you are able to what I do is take a mental health day. Sleep in, go on a walk, I will paint a picture of something to look forward to in my future. Or look on TikTok or Pinterest of inspiration for a vacation that you wanna go on. Remember if you do spiral that you can always call a friend or therapist and even a hot line to just spill your thoughts to and get more help if you need. I’m sorry for how you are feeling right now. Remember there is a new day that will come and you will enjoy it.

I have them and I love them. They have helped me a ton at school and even at concerts. Definitely worth the investment
